In a world where a blog is created every second does the world really need another blog? Well, it's got one.

Equal to Rule: Leading the Way - Dr Trevor Morrow in conversation at Contemporary Christianity (Tue 25 Nov)

Disagreements over women’s ordination or women in church leadership usually bring up two prominent attitudes: on the one hand, a number of people assume that the plain teaching of Scripture prohibits it; on the other hand, for a number of people, it simply feels right and they do not get to grips with biblical teaching.Both parties end up in the same place; reluctant to study the biblical text freshly, objectively, with the willingness to go where it leads.Dr Trevor Morrow has written Equal to Rule in order to show why churches like the Presbyterian Church in Ireland ascribe to full equality for men and women in leadership in the churches on the basis of the teaching of scripture. It is the fruit of years not only of biblical study and preaching, but also of experience in applying the gospel to the lives of women and men in different cultural contexts.

The event is free to attend, and whatever you believe you are encouraged to attend and engage with the retired minister of Lucan Presbyterian Church (and denomination’s youngest ever Moderator).
